I can not see your profile from the submitted photo, but if your nose is wide and also close to your face, it can be made to look narrower by building up the bridge of the nose.   This is commonly done in blacks, Asians and some Hispanics.....and yields a very nice result without moving the bones.

If indeed the surgeon elects to move the side bones, we usually bend them like a "green stick" on a live tree branch.  You can bend a branch, and it will stay without "breaking" the branch.   My preferred term would be to carefully re-position the bones (if necessary).  The term "breaking" does not imply the level of sophistication and the meticulous work of a plastic surgeon.

I would not hesitate to have the bone repositioned if it will improve your result.  BTW if you are unsure of what I have suggested about elevating the bridge of the nose to make it look narrower, you can inject sterile water to the bridge which would simulate the look and you would immediately see the difference.  It will only last 10 minutes, but is often better than computer imaging.   Ask your surgeon about this option.
